The difference between all three is the number of neutrons. Elements are classified by the number of protons in the nucleus. The number of protons never changes between hydrogen, tritium and deuterium.

Do deuterium and tritium participate in formation of hydrogen chloride gas?

No, deuterium and tritium do not participate in the formation of hydrogen chloride gas. Hydrogen chloride gas is formed when hydrogen and chlorine elements react together. Deuterium and tritium are isotopes of hydrogen and do not play a role in this specific chemical reaction.


What is the name of elements for hydrogen?

There are three isotopes of hydrogen, hydrogen-1, also called protium; hydrogen-2, also called deuterium; and hydrogen-3, also called tritium.


Isotope of hydrogen with one neutron?

deuterium


Is H2 is it same as deuterium?

Having only one proton deuterium has the atomic number 1, as hydrogen; but because deuterium has also and a neutron, the atom is different compared to the atom of hydrogen. Consequently deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen with the Atomic Mass 2.

You are correct! According to our current understanding of the Big Bang theory, the first elements formed were hydrogen, deuterium (heavy hydrogen) and helium.


What is the symbol for the deuterium isotope of hydrogen?

Hydrogen-2 is commonly referred to as deuterium, in addition to that it is known as Deuterium-1


What is water that contains hydrogen 2 in atom instead of hydrogoen 1 is called?

Water that contains deuterium (hydrogen-2) instead of normal hydrogen (hydrogen-1) is known as "heavy water." It has a slightly different chemical composition than regular water, with one or both of the hydrogen atoms being deuterium.


Can a hydrogen atom have more than one neutron?

Yes, a hydrogen atom can have one or more neutrons, but when it has more than one neutron, it is considered an isotope of hydrogen called deuterium or tritium. Deuterium has one neutron, tritium has two neutrons, and they are both heavier than the typical hydrogen atom.
